Jeez, I thought that I had stumbled into a maths quiz!

Nobody with even half a brain would dream of putting up such a needless comment! Having never been to Thailand you posted this on a Thailand internet forum:- "OMG, how hopeless, pedestrian and pathetic. Nobody with even half a brain would dream of putting up such a needless topic in 2025. Sheesh". Sheesh!

I don't think that it is Pattaya that is the issue.

Did that sound pre-historic when you typed it ?

Is that the guy in Chiang Mai? I have been using a third party to deposit applications, and collect the new passports, since VfS initially moved to the old Trendy Building.

You have always been able to use a third party to submit, and collect, your passport application/passport.

I don't deposit money with WISE (although I might do if I didn't get better rates elsewhere) I undertake currency transactions.

I was happy before.................and I guessed that anyway.

I still can't believe that ... today's example suggests otherwise:- £10k transaction...gets, say, SCB TT rate of 43.6225 = 436,225 Baht less circa 500 Baht in fees. The same transaction with WISE yields 437,735 Baht. Around 2,000 Baht better with WISE and that excludes any UK bank charges on the SWIFT transfer.

Your statement is misleading.. WISE:- Not a Bank, Not FSCS Protected: Wise Payments Ltd, the UK entity of Wise, is not a bank and therefore doesn't offer the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) protection, which is typically available for customers of licensed UK banks. Safeguarding Customer Funds: Instead of FSCS protection, Wise safeguards customer funds by: Segregation: Keeping customer money separate from Wise's own business funds. Cash Deposits: Holding customer deposits in cash with top-tier financial institutions like Barclays and Citibank. Secure Liquid Assets: Investing in secure liquid assets, such as government bonds in the UK, US, or EU. Regulatory Obligations: Wise follows strict rules set out by regulators in the countries where it operates to ensure the safety of customer funds. No Lending: Wise doesn't lend out customers' money, which is why FSCS protection isn't applicable. Security Measures: Wise also implements various security measures, including a dedicated fraud team, two-factor authentication, and regular audits.

......or, just get out of Thailand............................Oh wait.....😃
